Lee Jae-gun (Korean: 이재건; born 22 February 1997) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a forward for K4 League club Pocheon Citizen FC.
After graduating from Kyunghee High School in Seoul,[1] Lee received several offers from professional clubs. He turned them down, however, to play for Songho College.[1] In his second season at the college, he scored five of his team's ten goals,[2] and took his school to the 2016 U-League championship game, where they lost to Korea University.[1]
He was selected to represent Korea at the 2016 Asian University Football Championships in Taebaek.[3]
In January 2017, he signed his first professional contract with A.F.C. Tubize, playing in the second-tier of Belgian football.[4] He became Tubize's sixth Korean player.[5] The team, which was purchased by a Korean company in 2014, promotes the development of Korean football by recruiting young prospects from the Asian country.[1] He made his debut on 7 January against Cercle Brugge, replacing Shean Garlito in the 89th minute.[5][6][7] Two months later, during a 1-1 draw against Oud-Heverlee Leuven, Lee scored his debut goal.[8][9]
